VIOLATED RIGHTS.

June 11, 1986

LONDON — VIOLATED RIGHTS. Amnesty International, in a report for release today, says hundreds of people are jailed each year in South Korea for speaking out against the government. The organization also said some Koreans have been tortured into making false confessions on spying and treason charges. Tortures included electrical shocks, beatings and no food or sleep. The agency was told by South Korean officials that the government was committed to protecting rights but they did not respond to specific allegations.
